Nick Cannon officially filed for divorce from wife Mariah Carey on December 12.

Divorce Papers Filed

TMZ reported Friday that Cannon filed divorce papers days prior to Carey’s
performance at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting. Allegedly,
the singer missed a pre-taping for the event because she was in the middle
of working out the agreement with her lawyer.

Separated Since August

The host of “America’s Got Talen” announced the two’s
separation last August, saying: “There is trouble in paradise. We
have been living in separate houses for a few months. My main focus is
my kids.” But he still maintains a good relationship with his ex-wife,
telling “Good Morning America” host Lara Spencer that he and
the singer will “always be family.” The couple was married
in 2008 and share twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Next Steps

Though the two have been separated for a while, Cannon is not ready to
get back into dating. “I’m great. There are a lot of people
after me right now. I gotta slow it down. I’m trying to slow it
down and stay focused. Family is the first thing and my kids are most
important,” he told People magazine, adding: “Obviously the
dating thing will come down the line, but right now I’m just slowing
down.”

Carey seems to be taking the opposite route, having just announced a Las
Vegas residency at Caesar’s Palace.
